Can I convert my VBA project to some sort of batch submitted executable

Thanks to the help from you all, I have written VBA macros that open huge word documents and pluck out specific information and put it into Excel.  The files I've received have grown in size from 1500 to 3500 pages.  I'm currently running the VBA
macros by opening the document in word and then clicking "View....Macros...mymacro....Run.  The macro then runs for any where from 10 minutes to 2 hours.
Is there a way I can convert my VBA project into some sort of executable so that I can "submit" the word file to the executable? Sometimes I run this on a term server.  I'd like to start the job, log off the term server, and then later
check for the resulting excel file.
Is there a way to queue up a list of input files for this?

Hi Denis Backer,
>>Can I convert my VBA project to some sort of batch submitted executable<<
Yes, it is possible. We can write an application to automate open the Word documents and run the macro using
Application.Run. Also we can convert all the VBA project with mange code, however the Office automation is not supported on the server enviroment.
Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of
Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client
application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services),
because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run
in this environment.
You can get  more detail about it from link below:

And here are two helpful links about Office automtaion using C# for your reference:

  • I can't convert an imovie project.  error code =-50.  How can I create a DVD?

    I can't export my imovie project.  I am getting error code =-50.  I am unable to burn to a DVD for presentaion.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance for your help!  Stefan

    There may be more than one cause for this error, but in most cases the project to be published includes short clips of less than about 1.5 seconds duration.
    Duplicate the project. From the duplicate, delete the short clips and try to publish. If that doesn't solve the problem, see the post by Didorx in the thread linked below:

  • Captivate 8: Can you convert a responsive project to a non-responsive project?

    My co-worker created a responsive project, but she didn't really understand the use case for responsive design, and now we have a bunch of learners who can't view the HTML5 (they have antiquated browsers that they cannot update) and I need a quick fix. Is there a way to switch over the Flash\html5 version?
    I have to fix this tonight before I can go home, (my co-worker is conveniently on vacation). Can anyone help?
    Thanks!

    Hi there
    Unfortunately there is no "flip a switch" and convert from responsive to normal.
    What you are faced with is carefully re-creating each slide with the elements on the responsive slides.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can't convert Flex Mobile project to desktop project

    I'm using the Flash Builder 4.6 trial, and I'm very new to flex development. I've been asked to convert an existing Flex Mobile project (appears to have been developed in Flash Builder 4.5) into an AIR desktop app.
    The project imported without complaint. However, the Add/Change Project Type > Convert to Flex Desktop Project menu item is disabled.
    I created a blank Flex Mobile project, then a blank Flex web project, then a blank ActionScript project. It's greyed out for those, too. I checked with the projects closed and open; the rest of the items on that submenu are enabled for all projects when closed.
    Is this feature disabled in the trial version?  Is something else going on?

    Clearly the device from verizon works, I would try to contact a computer tech to repair your computer
    Really it should be as simple as turn on, connect, go. If it isn't there is a break down somewhere in that computer
    What error msg?

  • How can I convert a Flare project to RoboHelp HTML 10?

    In my company, we work in RoboHelp HTML 10. We aquired a company that uses Flare for their online help project, and now it falls to me to convert it to RoboHelp. I searched online and found the converter on the Show Me The Demo site, but the download button doesn't do anything.
    Is that converter posted anywhere else? Or is there another method of converting from Flare to RoboHelp? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi folks, sorry for the glitch in the download for the Flare to Robohelp Project Converter. I have been traveling and teaching and did not notice this post.
    Until I fix the link, please email me using the address in my Profile and I will send it via an email attachment right away.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • How can I convert an iMovie 9 project down to iMovie 8?

    Student started movie project in school in iMovie 8.  Took project home to work on it, but had iMovie 9 at home.  Now, he can't read his movie project on computer at school (in iMovie 8).  Any "Save as" or down-converter? 

    It is not possible to downconvert. You can forward-convert to a later version because the later version has all the old features plus some new ones. You cannot backward convert, because once you convert, the project file now has the new data structures that enable the new features. The old version does not know what to do with these.
    If he was running Time Machine, he could go back to the iMovie 08 version and just lose any edits he made under iMovie 09. Otherwise, he should just finish up the project at home.

  • I open project, says some clips in trash, can I these back into movie?

    hello imovie guru's I need some help with my quandry, when I do open a project I've been working on for quite some time now, it tells me there are some clips in the trash would I like to view, or not? Of course I say yes, because when I say no, there is no film left, but they're the clips I want/need. so is there a way to get them back into the original movie? I'm afraid I've emptied the trash in the iMovie by accident? thinking I could just grab them and move 'em back in manually. can I recover these clips without having to go back and start over with the whole project again. thanks for your support ahead of time. VHS conversions from my 1st. band 30 odd yrs. ago. geeky looking cats, but fun to watch and be able to convert to dvd finally for the other boys/men now in the band. who'll be astonished I've kept them all these years. HELP!!! But these classic old videos are great for critic-ing my progress thru the yrs. which backs up my theory of "less is more", especially when making music. Nothing but the Blues baby, gots to keep the American musical heritage alive!!

    1. you can copy and paste between projects. So, in project A, select what you want to reuse and use the copy command (command-c). Go to project B, place the playhead to where you want your clips to be, and paste (command-v).
    2. yes. also look at the auditions feature if you are aiming to go back and forth between different versions (where the clip is enabled/disabled).

  • How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7?

    How can I convert .cp projects from Captivate 2 to .cptx projects for Captivate 7? Do I have to use some other version between 2 and 7 to do this?

    I doubt you are going to be able to find all those previous versions and the time it would take to install, open the project, verify it, and everything in between (and without license keys, they would only be saved from trial versions which would be an issue), it seems it would be better just to start with Cp7 and put the effort into that.
    Completely off topic, one of the things I like about Authorware is that Macromedia provided previous versions that would allow you to open up and save the projects to get to version 7. It was a nice little touch they provided for developers. I don't believe that Adobe does this for Captivate though.

    No, without actualyl having the newer versions there is no way to convert anything. Otherwise you could use this.

    Well, this question really belongs in the iTunes forum, which is where you will get fast answers.
    Just go to iTunes Preferences.  Click on the General icon.  Set When you insert a CD to Ask to Import CD.  Click on Import Settings.  Set Import to MP3 decoder.  Make sure you're using Good Quality.
    This should deal with your CD's.
    With your current music, as long as it does not have DRM restrictions (older iTunes Music did), select the song, right click on the song (or group of songs), pull down to Create MP3 version. 

  • ITunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs? format

    iTunes 11 has converted some songs to Quicktime movie format. How can I convert them back to MPEGs?

    I didn't mess with the iTunes Media folder previously, so I don't think that was the cause. Anyway, I manually fixed most of the songs, but I still can't figure out how to fix the movies that became listed as songs.
    Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I click on "Get Info" for one of the movies (which has ended up in the music section on iTunes):
    There is no option to change the media kind to "movie" or "video" even though it is a movie and it still plays as a movie if I press play.

  • Can I convert Facebook time Text to Project Siena's Date value ?

    Can I convert Facebook time Text to Project Siena's Date value ?
    I want to show create_time on screen by my Localtime formatted text.
    Facebook time Text = 2014-07-14T11:22+0000
    I want to show = 2014/07/14 18:22
    My Time Zone is +09:00, Osaka/Japan.
    Currently I try it by Text/Replace/Replace/Replace/Left/DateValue/+ , etc.
    And I ask more simple way.
    Regards,

    Thank you Andy , and Robin, I can.
    Text(TimeValue(Substitute(ThisItem!created_time,"+0000",".000Z")),"yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm")
    At Facebook Albums's Gallary, I can convert from Facebook created_time to Localtime Text DateTime.
    and I hope more easy way like Excel Power Query's one.

    Siena uses JavaScript to parse date/times, via the TimeValue function. A good specification regarding what is acceptable can be found here:
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse
    The example above is truly bizarre: I thought I had seen it all. You will need to turn that form into one of those listed on the above site, using string functions to chop it up and reassemble it into a saner form.
